Last term of the year and having Xavier study with us before he graduates (bittersweet) . Therefore planning to have a few focus areas for each child, Chiara is also able to help with teaching this term! Focus areas are of first importance, though each child has further work to do. Our infant/primary children will be focusing on their 4Rs along with a focus on Leap into Literature books.
Chiara will undertake the bulk of teaching younger ones, though I will be doing All About Reading with Ignatius and All About Spelling with Saxon & Genevieve and Leap into Literature and family read alouds.
